The World's Best Wine Label
With dinner tonight I sipped on a 2003 Rutherford Hill Chardonay from Napa Valley, enjoying it enough to peek at the back label to see how the vintners decribed it. I found the best wine label ever:
My marketing people advised me to hire a terrific back-label writer to craft beautiful words that would demonstrate the depth of my family's commitment to quality. Instead, with my sons Bill and John, I paid more for grapes, dumped wine that didn't measure up to our standards, spent millions on new equipment, and hounded the winemaking team day in and day out to improve the wine every year. And then we put the proof in the bottle.The wine is quite good indeed. It reminds me of a trip to the Napa Valley I took last summer, thanks to the generosity of the Bennett family.
It's beautiful:

California Governance
Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez declares education must be the "first priority" for funds "until every child in this state receives a decent education and a fair chance to succeed." Conveniently, there's no danger of that happening any time soon, at least as long as the California Teachers Association is in charge.Read about the California Democratic Party's subservience to the CTA here.

The World's Best Burrito Joint
Anyone who thinks cultural diversity is all bad hasn't visited the nation's best burrito joint, Chile Pepper's in San Luis Obispo. Though pricey for a burrito it's well worth every penny. I'm partial to the Garlic Spicy Shrimp.
Chile Pepper's also makes an excellent Barbecued Chicken Burrito.
